DOJ chief tags Teves as fugitive, solon’s camp calls it ‘demonizing’ READ MORE:
The Philippine National Police on Tuesday said a map of the house and family photos of slain Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo were recovered from a suspect arrested during a raid in a compound owned by former Gov. Henry Pryde Teves.Remulla made the statement after Teves’ lawyer, Ferdinand Topacio, said the lawmaker is not a fugitive since the government has yet to issue a warrant of arrest against him.
Remulla earlier said that Teves, who was supposedly in the US for medical treatment, is “being considered” one of the masterminds in the March 4 killing of Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo and eight others.Several criminal complaints have also been filed against Teves, including multiple murder complaints over killings in 2019, and the illegal possession of firearms and explosives.
“If the head of the department keeps saying that this person or that person, in his belief, is guilty, how do you now expect the prosecutors who are all under him to make a contrary decision after preliminary investigation?” Topacio said. “I’ve seen it all before. First, they demonize the person,” he said, adding that they expect Teves to be charged with Degamo’s murder.“Anyone who has a modicum of perception will know that that is where this is leading,” he added.“Stop the juridical striptease. They’re peeling off one partial clothing at a time.. File the case,” he said.
